Nice, my next audio upgrade is going to be some 8" free air subs I can hide under the rear panels. Kicker makes a decent set that should fit since they are slim(shallow).

Hello Outsane.. It looks great. I think from now on I will just pull the carpet and wash it, gives a fresh smell to it and alot of dirt out.. The Peel and Seal helps cut down on the noise.

Even if the dye is wearing off, its still looking better. Your interior panels,seats and dash looks great.

RBX I really wanted to hide this sub in the panels but with out a ton of work I didn't have the time to do it just wasn't going to happen.

Terry great encouragement coming from you, I with the time spent cleaning and spraying it several times would have been worth it just to put in new carpet. The dye is degrading very fast.

Great job. Just keep it to one small task at a time. Since these are improvements it should be fairly stress free. It when things turn into repair mode and is affecting transportaion is the time to freak out. lol. You will get there.

getting there, going to run out of small mods soon...

yesterday while changing the oil I was thinking about dropping in another motor since the current one leaks from 12 different places I can't find..

Also the alternator decides not to charge some times on its own.. I may need to clean/replace the brushes, on a year old alt..

Those oil leaks do get frustrating. I had some on my flat bed and I can have motor and tranny out quick in one piece. Made it 10 times asier to work on. 4x4 are quite so easy.

On a year old part, that does get old having to fix. I have looked into upgrading with a better alternator. Seems like these put out just enough to make the trucks run. Even my blinker at idle makes the guage move.

Terry Its an old motor also, so I'm sure its pretty tired any how..

the Alternator is an upgraded 140 amp unit... I did pick up gm alternator kit from Trail gear when they were on sale for $29, so this maybe the time to swap it out and buy a Gm unit..

4X Innovations has a referral program, so if any one else is going to buy some awesome sliders or something else

use 4X2290

So I can order a rear bumper sooner!
